The MXR Distortion II was a monster pedal that you plugged into the wall. It was indeed pricey and bulky and in the days of using a battery this all added up to a big failure. Billy Corgan stumbled on one and found its transparency vibe and huge sound was ideal to stack on a Muff and/or a cranked amp. It gave him that massive sound he is famous for. 

The layout is Filter an EQ,  Resonance is a Bass boost, Drive adds more gain, the Symmetrical/Asymmetrical button goes from Tube Screamer to a more 

tube like voice. A second button Q smooths out the the peak in the boost.

CONCLUSION ___ 

It is at its best a as boost pedal on a Fuzz, 

OD or amp with some Crunch. As a boost it just doesn't get better

it not only gives you a massive sound but does that with some rich tone

free of mud or fuzziness
